Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Who do you think the hooded man is belle? It really wouldn't surprise me if it is actually Theon suffering from an alternate personality.

ETA: Saintsfan has been awesome enough to provide this ongoing list for us

Pgs1-50 quote: Hooded Man=Theon reflection of himself Hooded Man=Benjen Hooded Man=Blackfish Hooded Man=Harwin Hooded Man=Jon Hooded Man=Mance Weirwood paste is people Benjen is alive and fighting a shadow war Benjen is dead Benjen is undead and leading the Others R+L=J and Howland Reed is the only one alive who knows Varys also knows R+L=J somehow R+L=/=J Jon=Azor Ahai and Dany=Nissa Nissa Jon=Azor Ahai and Arya=Nissa Nissa (not Lannister-esque love, tho) Rhaegar=Azor Ahai, Lyana=Nissa Nissa, and Jon=Lightbringer Ned= shite swordsman Aegon=Blackfyre=Mummer's Dragon Aegon=Illyrio's son Jon will end up with Val at the end Jon is alive, but it was Melisandre who had him killed so he would be reborn as AA Jon is dead but will warg into other animals a la Orell Brienne will allow Jamie to kill her so that Jamie can live (trial by combat) Jaime will allow Brienne to kill him so that she can live Pretty Merris=Brienne?

Who wrote the letter to Jon? Theon, Ramsey, Roose, Mance, Jon writing to Mance who is acting as Jon, the 1989 Denver Broncos? Hodor!!! Too many baby swaps for mortals to comprehend

Pgs 50-84

Jaime gets his sword hand revived by Thoros; becomes a bad-ass duel wielder Robb will be revived with Grey Wind's head... Brienne is a descendent of Dunk Hodor is a descendent of Dunk Hodor is not a Dunk-kin, but he has Giant's blood Nan was a wildling from beyond the wall-that's how she knows so much about the north Nan and Dunk did a little wink wink nudge nudge Gregor is headless Gregor is a frankenstein with someone elses head Gregor has Robb's head Hooded Man=Hallis Mollen Dany has the bloody flux and will die (Bluegrass' wish) The wall will fall and the wildlings will flood the North (aren't they already on this side of the wall?) Sam ends up as Maester of Nights Watch Sam ends up as Maester in Kings Landing Sam has the horn that can destroy the wall Tons of speculation on who will rule what in the end Sandor is the Valonqar-him killing Gregor causes Cersei's death Sandor will beat Gregor but Cersei will escape somehow; Jaime will hunt her down and deliver the Kings justice Littlefinger and Varys will ally to help Aegon Littlefinger has the sword Blackfyre hidden in some tapestries Jon=Night's King returned Bran=Azor Ahai and will warg into a dragon (...ok) R+L=J...but the R is Robert Jaqen is in the Citadel and is trying to find out how to hatch the dragon egg he got from Euron

Here are my findings today (page 85-110): 3 Queens=Margery, Cersei and Melisandre Alleras was sent to Old Town by Doran to acquire dragon eggs for use in alliance with Dany Alleras is just following Oberyn's footsteps and has no real plan Alleras is investigating what the Maesters are up to... The Maesters will side with the Others Alleras isn't after a dragon egg but knowledge on how to train dragons which would be more useful to Dany... Tarly will side with Aegon Ser Barriston will die fighting the embodiment of Winter as no normal person left could defeat him A lot of talk about a re-read thread...but it appears that thread died long ago This thread is a lazy river that eventually runs into an 180ft waterfall on occasion ASOIAF is a lazy river that eventually runs into a 180ft waterfall on occasion Samwell's death will potentially be the most gut-wrenching in the series-can a man still be brave if he's afraid? Something isn't IN Littlefinger's tapestries, but ON them Bran will turn bad, but will redeem himself somehow The Others=Creatures of the forest (...evolution? laying with giants?) Brandon Stark received a letter from Lyana describing her and Rhaegars love but he either dismissed it as Rhaegar's writing or as a slap in the face to the Starks Arya is the Volonqar-androgynous term (I so want Arya or Jamie to kill Cersei) Varys lied to Aerys about Rhaegar's plotting to cause disruption in the seven kingdoms Jon is a descendent of Bael the Bard Jon is Arya's Nissa Nissa-Stick him with the pointy end A dragon is sleeping beneath winterfell-source of warm water wells There is a dragon egg near the wall that is white with red specks-referring to Jon's dragon? There is a dragon inside the Wall and will wake when the horn blows and the wall falls fulfilling two prophecies/legends in one fell swoop

I was going to start this if you didn't cause I'm itching to talk about it.

RE: Theon and the Hooded Man

I think it's possible that it could be Theon seeing himself. But the one thing that doesn't past the smell test with that is the Hooded Man calls him a Kinslayer. We know that Theon didn't slay his "kin" Bran or Rickon.

So that leads me to believe the Hooded Man is either a Stark or Stark supporter. I'd throw my guess in that it could be Benjen Stark (I read somewhere that Martin debunked that he was Coldhands) since "A Stark Must Always be in Winterfell" and I think someone has entered through the crypts.

Theon doesn't know what has happened to Bran and Rickon though. He has to assume that they are roaming around the North in the dead of winter. Its a pretty logical conclusion to think they are dead. Therefore he has to think in the back of his mind that he drove them from the safety of Winterfell and ultimately killed them.

My problem with Benjen is I believe he would've went to Castle Black first. He is far too loyal to break his oaths to the nights watch and that is exactly what he did if he is in fact in Winterfell.

- The Weirwood paste that Bran eats to awaken his latent Weirwood seeing late in ADwD is actually made up of some of Jojen Reed. If you recall, Jojen is currently unable to be found and was pretty sick when they arrived at the caves. There's a lot of descriptions of the paste tasting like blood, looking veiny, and etc. I figure it either has parts of someone in it or is a representation that the Weirwoods are "alive".

quote:- That Jon's parents are Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen (pretty much gospel in most parts these days)

- That Jon will be Azor Ahai reborn.

- That Dany could potentially be Jon's Nissa Nissa when it's all said and done.

For those who are wondering WTF Azor Ahai and Nissa Nissa are you can read here:

I believe in all of these.

I haven't really read this one before but I believe that Bran has already eaten human flesh before. Remember when he had the green dream while he was with Cold hands then when he woke up Cold hands was cooking a meat that resembled pork? Yea those were the rangers that deserted and Cold hands killed.

True, but I don't think that necessarily would make him a kinslayer. Piece of shite human being? Yes.

quote:My problem with Benjen is I believe he would've went to Castle Black first. He is far too loyal to break his oaths to the nights watch and that is exactly what he did if he is in fact in Winterfell.

It depends on how he was sent there. There's some speculation that it could've been by the way of the Children of the Forest. Remember, when he disappeared I don't think even Ned had died yet. A lot has happened since then, so there's no telling what he would do.

Azor Ahai is a legendary figure from hundreds of years before the story starts. He originally fought and defeated The Others with a sword made of Fire called Lightbringer. When he forged Lightbringer he was forced to temper the blade by stabbing it through the heart of his wife and only love. His wife's name was Nissa Nissa.

There is a prophecy saying that AA will return and be reborn admist smoke and fire. We believe that Jon is AA and Dany is Nissa Nissa.

I enjoy threads like these, since I no longer frequent Westeros and such forums I am not up to date with ADWD theories and such. Nor am I up to date with tWoW readings. That Jojen one in particular I found very interesting, but I'd tend to think it's the latter, that Weirwoods are alive.

All the other stuff I tend to ignore, you can only read so many opinions on hints on the same theory/idea till it just starts to annoy you

Martin doesn't even really ever give proof that AA actually existed. He is just a legend. However the legend states that every time the AA attempted to temper the blade using normal techniques the blade shattered.
